Design, decor, DIY, mixed with an ordinary family life is the description of Minna's blog Time of the Aquarius. A description perfectly matching her great blog which I found accidentally while I was on Pinterest. Minna, who is working as a freelance stylist and visual designer also runs a webstore Butic Blanc which she calls her pop-up-store selling home decoration, textile products and kids stuff. Like the cute mustache travel pillow, a plywood castle and her newly designed playhouse for in- or outside.

Make sure you have enough time when you start to visit this addictive blog and store!

Life Thru a Lens is a nice Scandinavian blog made by Laurana. With inspriring pictures of a family home and her life captured in Life Project. I adore the bright colors she used in her home and the nursery for her daughter!

Magazines aren't timeless. A while ago somebody told me to throw away all magazines which were more than a year old. And while running through my torned out magazine pictures I realized that she was perhaps right to do so. Except for a few pictures like this one. Timeless white, scrap wood, rugged basics and colorful accents.

It also makes me long for summer, living with all doors wide open and enjoying the sun!
